What the Motto Meant.

Years ago one of the masters in the High
school of Edinburgh had the reputation Of
Furnishing numerically the boys whose par
ents werc comparatively poor and being at
the same time very lenient toward the sons
Of the richer classes. One day, after
severely thrashing one of the unfortunates,
he wound up with the exclamation:
"Now, sir, you're stupid fellow. don't
suppose you even know the Latin motto Of
this school"
ayes, sir, do"
"Well, what is it?''
"Nisi dominus frustra. :"
"Now give the English Of that"
"Unless you are laird's son you medina

IN FEATHERS AND WAR PAINT.

On the Trail to HarIford-AbOut Two
 Hundred Red Men Go to That City to
 Take Scalps.
 About two hundred members of Hammon- assett tribe No. 1, Improved Order of Red Men, of this city went to Hartford last night at the invitation of Sonquassen tribe Mo- 2 of that city. Weeds military band of Hartford came down and accompanied our representa- tive Red Men to their city. A special train conveyed them all to Hartford, starting from here at 6:36 p. m.
 To see the palefaces on their street parade previous to their departure for Hartford in their strange regalia was a delight to the small boy and 8 wonder to the older heads. About seventy-five were uniformed with suits fringed and made up of the colors of the rainbow and 8 dozen other different shades. On their heads they wore a crown topped with feathers, with long hair flowing down their backs. Some had red blankets wrapped around them and all wore masks of thin and stiff gauge material with the war paint of the Red Men painted on them. These concealed their identity. The small boy delighted in giving vent to war whoops and the Red Men were not averse to doing the same thing.
 It was their first appearance in costume, and when they made their appearance from the Atheneum building and marched along in single file, the sidewalks were well crowd ed with curious people. After the seventy five uniformed Red Men came about fifty, who were not uniformed, also in single file. The parade was headed by Sergeant Bishop with Officers Orr, Woodruff, Helget and Pickering as assistants in keeping the crowd back and the streets clear. The line of march was from Church to Chapel, to Olive, to St. John, to State, to the depot, where the special train was in waiting.
 Edwin Chatterton, engine dispatcher here of the Consolidated road, is Red Man and had two immense tomahawks made to deco rate the engine of the train that conveyed Hammonassett tribe to Hartford. Engineer George B. Close, also a Red Man, ran the train, clothed in all his feathers and war paint. They arrived at Hartford at 7:3O and made a street parade. The process sion passed through Allyn, High, Main, Pratt, Trumbull and Asylum streets. Red fire was used in great profusion.
 After the working of the degrees of adop- tion of palefaces and raising of chief had taken place at Allyn Hall banquet was served at Putnam Phalanx hall. A nnmber of prominent chiefs were present.

 Districts.
 When President Kleiner called the board of councilmen to order last night only about half of the seats were occupied. President Kleiner asked the indulgence of the board as he was feeling unwell.
 On motion, U. L. Frank, D. B. Hosley, William F. c. Foley and Isaiah B'akeman were appointed special constables in addi- tion to those already appointed. Councilman Warren said he thought it would be very advisable to appoint MT. Frank; he is a Chi naman, tea seller on Congress avenue. He wants those of his own race to do what Id right, and it was thought by the councilmen that he would be able to break up many of the Chinese dens in the city where nefarious things are practised, provided he was given the power The petition of l.. E. Bradley for appointment as special constable was re- ferred to the committee on nominations. MT. Bradley is supernumerary and has the power to arrest without being special con stable, but by appointment to the position of special constable he will receive fee for each arrest.
 Councilmen Lane, O'Connor, Parlow and MordeI were appointed committee to iook into the matter of the negligence of certa parties whose duties are to see that the walks are kept clear of snow and ice. Councilman Warren moved that the board reconsider it's action taken at the last meet ing in referring the matter of strengthening of West river to a special committee. An amendment was then made to have special committee of councilmen appointed to look into the matter and report to the board at a special meeting which shall be called by the Mayor for next Monday night. Carried. The work of strengthening West river has been done from Whalley avenue to the Mil ford turnpike, a distance of about mile and half The total cost so far has been S9. .9S3. 33. The cost of the work to be done this year is $3,000, for which an appropria- ton for that amount is asked.
 A resolution was offered by Councilman Moran to amend the ordinance de erection of lamps. It was referred to the committee on streets.
 The ordinance of the board of health re- garding the removing of garbage and the care of persons having infectious diseases was referred.
 The motion that voting districts be organ ized in the large wards was referred. As it now is many are obliged to go mile or more to vote. By dividing the wards into districts this will be obviated.
